Card Patterns Sketch #145 - 12-10-11 Geraniums

Hi everybody! Hope you are off to a great week. I have some excellent news to share! I am officially on the design team for Serendipity Stamps! If you are not familiar with their stamps, let me tell you they are just GORGEOUS! Although they offer a large variety of stamps, I just adore the flower designs. They are natural, realistic renderings that almost have me smelling the flowers while I am working on the coloring! Another neat thing about Serendipity stamps is that you can order them mounted on wood, cling foam, or not mounted at all. The choice is yours!

For my design today I am working with the large geranium stamp. I colored it with Copics and cut out only a portion of the design with my Spellbinders circle die. For the background I embossed a diamond pattern with a Sizzix Texturz embossing plate (these are great for larger pieces of paper) and distressed it with a little sanding.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!A well deserved honor...your cards are amazing!!And I've been perusing this companies site for a bit...I may have to dig in and get another new obsession! :)This is a beauty!!Love the red...it's my favorite!!That ribbon...the bow...the coloring...it's all fabulous! :)

Congrats on your DT post Jeanne, so well deserved with your beautiful creations! And this is a corker of a debut - beautiful image, coloured so beautifully, and the red gingham ribbon paired with the pretty lace is gorgeous! Stunning card!

Hi I'm Jeanne!

A Kept Life

I left my career a few years ago, and at the time my husband started calling me "a kept wife". The name of my blog is a play on that expression, because now I capture moments in photographs, and create in color in my "kept life". I hope you enjoy - thanks for stopping by!
